I think it depends on the artist and what theyre drawing. I mean if your just drawing porn for the sake of porn and nothing else then i dont see why you would have to wank to it. But like if your drawing a fetish you like then i think its reasonable to pop a stiffy at least, unless of course your artist instinct is just too powerful to let you see anything past all your mistakes. I personally find myself jacking off with one hand and a pencil in the other hand to fix any mistakes i see. It just really depends on what kind of detachment you have with your own work i guess.

>>2285532
Hmm, that's true.
Though jacking off while drawing is quite the multitask I've yet to experience, lol

Usually you're looking at your porn with an artist eye. You can't get aroused because you see the faults and thought process behind the picture. If you wanna make your own porn for jerk-in try to look at your art objectively when your done. Turn your mind off a little bit and act like someone else created the picture.

>>2285492
yes

>>2285370
that depends on what you mean by 'talent' i guess
i believe people can work to get better at things, and i believe some people are able to get better at certain things faster than other people, but nobody starts off great

>>2285377
Not op, but whats lats?

post your work. i'd agree that painting is harder than drawing, even though most people seem to feel it's the opposite.

also are we talking traditional or digital?

Most recent painting, the fact that i got an A for this is honestly disgusting.

photoshop is for editing photos.... thats like using flash to animate.

true, the tools are broad enough that you COULD do it, but there are better suited programs to say the least...

im of the opinion that you shouldnt use commercial software when quality fos alternatives exist... of which there are plenty when it comes to drawing software.

to name a few: "Krita", "MyPaint", "Paint.Net", "GIMP"

You're so fucking wrong it makes me slightly sick.

>>2285367
don't ruin it, OP will probably buy it

>>2285168
Can't really respond to this anon.

Unless you intended this as a stylistic choice.

>>2285181
i see, so its perfect.

>>2285187
truly you are a master

Try out irfanview.

Basically every web browser can view gifs if you use the file location as a url. Qutebrowser is pretty lightweight. dwb is lightweight.
If you're on GNU/Linux, gifsicle is good for animating shit.

>>2285142
Using a web browser to open images probably wouldn't be the best idea as far as I know.
Probably wouldn't have the option of scrolling through images, and might run into inconveniences with how it scales the image.
I've never done it before, though.

and be sure to check this guys photos, there are many amazing animal pictires:

[Reposting this because I fucked it up at the end of the last thread]

Usually a lurker, stumbled upon the head study thread, and after reviewing some of the materials that were posted there, I took at stab at my first head.

Should I continue my artistic ventures? It felt fun.

(And I know, fuck the rendering until I get the basics. I was just messing around with it.)

>>2285044
>Should I continue my artistic ventures? It felt fun.
Yes and don't worry about what anybody else says yet. Just draw, keep drawing, and keep trying to learn. Focus on quantity over quality right now, don't get too hung up over when you make mistakes, and just keep drawing.

They're probably not using their head when they draw.

Autism
No seriously it's because they're stubborn and have bad habits deeply ingrained.

What's there to know from this article?

>Ruanjia worked in a company called Webdragon from march 2001 where there was only 8 people in their art department (and only 2 of them was working 3d at the time, him and the 3d director). By the time he left there was close to 3000 people in the art department.

>Played video games since I was small, liked triple-A games from other countries

>in 2008 he recieved an invitation to Canada, which allowed him to later work at ARENANET.

>Last year he planned on returning to china, but received work at 343

Pretty generic stuff, followed by a Q&A. Honestly there's not too much you can get out of this article, apart from the fact that he started out small I guess.

>>2284777
Any interesting details from the Q&A?

>>2284820
I guess I'll try and paraphrase the Q&A section.

Apart from literally every question starting off with fangirling about him
>Q: what are your advices for students? (coming from an art instructor I think)
>A: Just copy other people's style first, then internalize and develop your own

>Q:How do you think story and products are related? Movies in China are looking better, but can't tell a story for shit.
>A: It's a global problem, look at Hollywood. Many movies look good with amazing special effects, but really bad story. I think it's mostly because investors invest for profit, so to attract them studios uses fancy fx. If you want a good story, you can get them anywhere (literally: small screens). Plus kids likes effects more than story, and this isn't something I can solve alone.

>Q: There are many people studying art, and In china there are many [art]training institutions. They are very young, around their early 20s. As soon as they graduate they're mostly working 3D modelling from 9am -9pm. Many are saying they don't know how to draw anymore. What are some advices?
A: in 2000 I went to Central Academy of Fine Arts (CAFA) for 4 months learning 3dMAX to find a job. Afterwards I found a job at Webdragon where I did 3D modelling for 6-7 years, very similar to the situation you told me. Nowadays 3D models are rendered in real time, but back then they needed to be rendered first. While rendering, I would draw my own things on paper. All of my practice squeezed in [to my timetable]. I only switched to 2D in 2007, and because I was always practicing, my skills was decent. In the end,the key still lies on how much time you spend on drawing. You can go to classes, but basically these institutes will get you to the entrance. If you've never touched these things[art] before, the teachers can give you insight on the industry.

count.

In his own time he was pretty much famous. People either loved him or hated him. But in the 1920 the art world taste were havily influenced by impressionism and more expressif type of art. So bougeuereau was discredited heavily as being boring and not modern.

Why don't you just ask them for money? Or even better get a job?

>>2284378
I have no idea about markers, but you can find video reviews of the cheaper ones on youtube. they might help you to decide.

>>2284378
markers in their nature are gonna be pretty expensive just because of the materials and the cost of production

also because youre gonna need quite a bit of them to do more fleshed out works unless you're okay with super simple color palettes

cheaper alternatives to copic that are still fairly on par are Prismacolor, Shin-Han TOUCH, Spectrum Noir

look into those three

specifically shin-han touch i got a big set of 60 or so for like a third of the price of copics and they're almost just as good. theyre cheap cause theyre like korean or some shit and not really known (at least when i bought mine) i dont know how they are now they could have went up in price since then
